Re: I'm going to Spain!

Are we the dick of Europe?

When are you coming? If you are traveling in summer even that attire is too warm

My favourite beaches are in Cadiz and Cabo de Gata (Almería) but it depends on the kind of beach you prefer. What places are you planning to visit? If you have any question let me know, I'll be glad to help you. Also if you are planning to come to Granada I'm up for some beers

Well, the plan is to go to Barcelona, for three days, pick my friends that will be there for a while before I arrive. Then to go to Sevilla from there, it is my job to get the train tickets (AVE, I'm guessing).

Then spending a week in Sevilla, with road trips to other cities in Andalucia; Granada, Corboda, Cadiz, and Jerez de la Frontera for some sherry...

Of course I would love to have a cerveza (or ten) with you!!

We want to see the historical Andalucia, but also to eat and drink, my traveling companions love to eat and drink...

But I do want to know how to I get tickets for Alhambra, and ideas of what to do, and eat/drink in Granada, and other places you may know of!

And BTW Florida is where older people from the north come to spend their last years.... so I do think Andalucia is the Florida of Europe!

The most typical option for food in Granada are "tapas", free food with the drinks, I can list some bars I like or I can go with you Close to Granada you can go to Alpujarras (beatiful landscapes and villages and good "embutidos") In the way to Cadiz you can stop in Ronda. Close to Cadiz there are some beatiful towns (Conil, Vejer, Medina Sidonia, San Lucar de Barrameda...) I'm love with Tarifa (the limit between Mediterranean and Atlantic and you can see Africa) It depends on the time you are going to spend. Córdoba and Sevilla are amazing but in summer they are like hell but they worth the visit. For a long distance (Barcelona-Sevilla) you are right AVE (http://www.renfe.com/) is the best option but also the most expensive. In Andalucia you'll have to travel by bus (http://www.alsa.es/) or conventional train. I think the best option is to go to Cadiz and Jerez from Sevilla (lees than an hour), then go back to Sevilla to travel to Cordoba (about one hour) and then a bus from Cordoba to Granada (about 2 hours). If you have to go back to Barcelona for the return flight Malaga is about one hour away and there are a lot of cheap flights (Ryanair or vueling) from Granada there are some flights to Barcelona too (http://www.vueling.com/es/)
